Gastroenterology

A gastroenterologist is a specialist in diagnosis and treatment of conditions involving the digestive/gastrointestinal (GI) tract. These doctors are experts on how food moves through the digestive system and is chemically broken down, with nutrients being absorbed and waste excreted. You might see this kind of doctor if you are experiencing any number of stomach issues, some of which might be severe diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids, ulcers, acid reflux, Crohn's disease and more.

Internal Medicine

An internist is a physician who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the adult population—both acute and chronic.
These doctors are often who adults see as their primary physicians because they treat a broad range of illnesses that do not require surgical or specialist interventions. They also work to help a patient maintain optimal health in order to prevent the onset of disease.
In addition to treating the common cold and flu, internists also treat chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

Dr. Tarder is one of the nicest docs I have ever met and very compassionate and understanding with his patients. His staff has always been kind and courteous. Patsy has worked for him for what may seem like a lifetime and is a pleasure to deal with, as is Alexis! I have every bit of confidence in Dr. Tarder and his staff abd highly recommend him as a GI.

Dr Tarder is treating my husband and myself for two different conditions. He's quiet but very well informed and up to date with current treatments and what's on the horizon. He's thorough, explains thing well He explains all options for treatment, the up side and the down side and goes with your preferences. He's a good dr, and though I haven't worked with him in my position at the hospital. I know the difference, I've been a nurse for 35 years. I've never had a problem with his staff, they are very friendly and and don't get upset even if you change a lot of appointments. The only down side is that he has limited time in the office.

I am not quite sure how to review him. WHEN I have seen him he is on time and he is very knowledgeable, However I am unable to get in touch with him even weeks after a surgery, his staff is very poor, I had to call imaging centers to have my reports sent,and the staff lost important information. So The Doctor I think is good but with a poor managed staff and very limited time to see patients.

My husband was having trouble with his stomach. I took him to Dr. Tarder and what a pleasant surprise. He was quite knowledgeable and was personable. He was able to prescribe medicine for my husband which eased his symptoms. I recommend him highly.
